How do you perform prayer of eclipses?
Question:
How is the prayer for solar and lunar eclipses to be performed?
Answer:
علي عن أبيه ومحمد بن إسماعيل عن الفضل بن شاذان جميعا عن حماد ابن عيسى، عن حريز عن زرارة ومحمد بن مسلم قالا
Ali reported about his father and Muhammad Ibn Isma’il who reported about Al-Fadl Ibn Shadhan who reported about Hammad Ibn Isa who reported about Hariz that Zurarah Ibn A’yan and Muhammad Ibn Muslim said:
سألنا أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن صلاة الكسوف: كم هي ركعة وكيف نصليها؟
“We asked Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir (a.) about the prayer for the eclipse (Salat-ul-Kusuf): “How many bowings are there and how do we pray?”
:فقال
So he said:
عشر ركعات وأربع سجدات
“Ten bowings (Rak’ah) and four prostrations (Sajdah).”
تفتتح الصلاة بتكبيرة وتركع بتكبيرة وترفع رأسك بتكبيرة إلا في الخامسة التي تسجد فيها وتقول: سمع الله لمن حمده
You open the prayer with a declaration of greatness and bow down with a declaration of greatness and raise your head with a declaration of greatness (Allahu Akbar), except in the fifth, where you prostrate yourself and say: “God heard who praised Him (Sami’a-llahu li-man hamidah)”.
وتقنت في كل ركعتين قبل الركوع وتطيل القنوت والركوع على قدر القراءة والركوع والسجود
You recite the standing prayer of supplication (Qunut) all two bowings before bowing and draw the prayer of supplication and bowing according to the measure of the recitationand the bow and the prostration in their length.
فإن فرغت قبل أن ينجلي فاقعد وادع الله عز وجل حتى ينجلي وإن انجلى قبل أن تفرغ من صلاتك فأتم ما بقي وتجهر بالقراءة
If you have finished before it disappears, then sit down and call to God until it disappears and if it has disappeared before you finish your prayer, then finish what is left and you read the reading loudly.”
:قال
He said:
قلت: كيف القراءة فيها؟
“I said:”How does the recitation (Qira’ah) take place therein?”
